WORK HELD UP
DISPUTE OVER WAGES TROUBLE AT WESTFIELD AUCKLAND, May 5. Because of a dispute over wages, the men employed in the fertiliser works at Westfield of Kempthorne, Prosser, and Co’s New Zealand Drug Company this morning refused to work and did not start later. It is stated the men were brought back on the previous evening to load manure, but as the trucks offering were inadequate the work soon ceased and two hours’ wages were paid. The men claimed eight hours as for a full shift. The trouble is not related to the dispute a few days ago at the Challenge Phosphate Works at Otahuhu. In that dispute the men resumed after ceasing work for half a day, but subsequently stopped work again. Their dispute has now been settled.
